has been shown that he, in like manner, in nearly
200 cases, embracing those of some of
the most prominent business men of
the city of + ort Wayne, failed to make any such

bribery. were abandoned by him. and no

The Level-Stall Question.

Boston Transcript.
The listener was interested the other day, hap
pening to be in group of gentlemen who are
concerned in the new riding clue. and conse-
quently in horse flesh in general, to hear the
strenuous opposition of one of the number to
this time honored practice of building inclined
stalls. To tell the honest truth the listener had
never heard of the ''level-s.all question:
slopng-stall floor seemed to him to be the
normal state of things for stable And yet
how easily he recalled the sight of panied look
ing animals forcing themselves back to find a
level spot, until chains and ropes had been
stretched across the back of the stall to prevent
it Why" said this gentleman, 1.-THE question
is becoming so grave one In Europe that a
French lieutenantcolonel of cavalry has written
a book about it. He shows that in the six years
between 1875 and 1880, fifty-nine out Of every
hundred horses in the French service were in
the veterinary infrmaries for treatment Dur
ing that period ID, SIS armv horses. all in the
prime of their life, died, representing loss to
the government of five million francs a year
This matter of the strange mortality of horses.
for the most part very we'll cared for, was in
vestigated. 1t was found that the horses ordi-
narily showed strange repugnance to standing
in their stables. Their habit of standing as far
out of the stalls as they could WAS also noted,
and the deduction was at last reached that the
sloping stalls had an injurious effect upon their
health. The advantage gained. such as it is, by
putting horse on declivity, was found to be
greatly overbaanced by the injury to its health.
So this lieutenantcolonel. whose heart was
touched wrote brochure about the evil, and
the newspapers have taken it up. In England
the subject has attracted attention, too. Mrs.
Power O'Donoghue, in her taking book, Riding
for Ladies' has touched upon the same matter,
and pleads for level stalls. In this country the
best horsemen and stable makers have taken the
matter up without much uraing-the idea looks
so sensible, after one thinks of it-and the best
effect has been obtained. But the ordinary
stable, am sure. is still inclined. both in the
city and the country, and elaborate stables
are still being built with this apparatus of tor
ture.p

for authority for the railroads to continue GER
tain .equalized rates of TRANSPORTATION, the
commission says: The case set out in this
petition is not one of the exceptional cases for
which the law provides. The commission is,
therefore, powerless TO make any order upon it.
Under such circumstances it is proper and in
accord with the usual practice to withhold any
expression of opinion
Judge Cooley has addressed the following
letter to Hon Fl. l.. Muldrow acting Secretary
of the Interior:
Dear Sir-The Interstate commerce Commits
sion acknowledges the receipt from you of
communication asking for its opinion upon the
questions following.
'.First-Is it lawful under the Interstate
commerce act for a common carrier to offer to
make special rates to individuals in order that
such individuals may offer and make proposals
to the department for the transportation of In
dian suppiiesl
Second-Whether the transportation
the lines of common carriers of Indian goods for
and on behalf of an individual. with whom con-
tract may be made by this department for their
transportation from place of purchase to ulti-
mate destination will be considered aad held as
"tbe carriage, storage or handling of property
at reduced rates for the United States" under
Section % of the interstatecommerce actF
1.-THE commission directs me- to say to you
that it does not understand it has any general
power to construe the statute under which it is
organized, for the purpose of guiding or con-
trolling the actions of individuals in either pri-
vate business or public duties, except when corr
plants under the law brought TO its atten-
ton, or when relief which it is in its power to
grant is prayed. The commission has, there
fore, uniformly declined to express opinions
abstract questions of construction or request of
private citizens or organizations, deeming 1T
alike proper and prudent to do so. Difference
to a department. of the government inclines the
commission to make exception of your
request. especially as doubt regarding the
rights of the government might seriously
affect the bids for transportation which to be
called for. Coming to the question. then, l am
further directed to say that in its view the state
ment mado by you Of the facts constitutes of
itself, complete answer. The supplies, as you
show, are delivered to the government at points
designated and they then transported, at
the cost of the government, to points where they
are to be made use of. The transportation is,
therefore. for the United States in the words of
the interstate law, and it is 1mmaterial that It is
done by contractors when the government re-
ceives the the benefit of the free reduced
rates. as it must be presumed to do when the
bids are made in reliance upon the expectation
that such rates will be granted"

BERLIN, April l8.-The North German Ca

about to confer upon DeGiers, Russian Minister
of Foreign Affairs, the Grand Cross of tho Order
of St Vladimir says this reafirms the policy of
De Giers and adds 1.-THE foreign press, espe-
cially the French press. is mistaken if it supposes
the views of KatkoT represent the policy of
Russia. The Gar and De Giers alone conduct
the Russian policy, which is pacific, possibly in
different toward Germany-certainly in no wise
hostile. French revancheurs cherish hope of
war between Russia and Germany. but it will be
a disadvantage to France if the press succeeds
in establishing this wrong idea in the minds OF
the French"
Advices from ST. Peters burg received at Gum
binren say the Gear has abandoned his projected
visit to the Cossack capital, Novo-Tcherkask,
owing to the discomfort and turbulence prevail
ing among the Cossacks According to the same
au ices deputation of Cossacks recently visited
St. Petersburg for the purpose of having an
audience with the Gear and Czarewitch, but
wers compelled to return to their country with
out having been received. Secret agents and
public officials among the Don Cossacks report
that disaffection is widespread. They say the
country is overrun with revolutionary emi.saries,
whose prop Uganda is welcomed by the people.

HOW THE CAR ESCAPED.

His Life Was Saved by Two Anonymous
kilograms from London.
Cable Special to New York World.
1t is now learned that the Car and Czarina
would probably have been assassinated upon the
18th of last March if it had not been for two
anonymous dispatches of warning from London.
These dispatches were in exactly the same words
and were in cipher, the key to which is only
known to the highest officials of the Russian
police The messages asserted that the Emper-
ors life would be attempted on his way to the
requiem service in memory of his father. In
spite of this warning both the Gar and Czarina
attended the service, driving to the church in
closed carriages. The police arrested the con-
spirators and carried them off without any re-
sistance. So quietly was this done that not over
twenty people in the street noticed the arrest.
The Gear returned to the palace by another
route. and when he reached home he gave way
to fit of terrific rage, during which not even
the Empress or any of his children dared ap-
proach him. Soon after the conspirators were
out for Gatchina On the way thither ne had
another providential escape, as Instructions Of

a sleigh was, IN accordance with a prearranged
plan, upset. and one of the shafts thereof appar-
entity broken. which necessitated the occupants
innocently requesting some of the inhabitants of
the house in question to allow the sleigh to be
drawn into the courtyard in order to be repaired
This having been granted without suspicion two
more sleiehs drove up, apparently containing
